I didn't like it as much as the first two but I did still really enjoy it. There's not enough Eilonwy in it as she is gone most of the time. I missed her. At least Taran finally starts to grow up a bit in this one.

Third in the series of Taran & his friends. Lighter in tone than the previous book, Taran must come to grips with his feelings for Eilonwy as she is shipped off to the Isle of Mona for training in how be a lady. More romantic than previous books without being too mushy for younger readers.

If you liked the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain, you'll enjoy this book. There's perhaps more focus on character development than in the first two books, but it's still as exciting and interesting.
